Very Large Scale Integration

Posted on by

Integration is an important concept in mathematics which, together with differentiation, forms one of the main operations in calculus.

Large Integration is the process of integration with long equations. That is to say equations with over 100 terms.

Very Large Scale Integration is a term that can be used when the number of terms to be integrated is even greater.

Very Large Scale Integration is normally carried out by computer. It is not recommended to be undertaken lightly by a human as it can cause mind boggling. The sheer number of algorithms and data structures that need to be assimilated means this sort of architecture is often very specialised.

Intergration is often considered a harder technology than differention. Integration is sometimes introduced as the reverse of differentiation. If we have a table of derivatives, we can read it backwards as a table of anti-derivatives.

Musical scale

Another form of scale is the Musical scale. This is a group of musical notes collected in ascending and descending order, that provides material for or is used to conveniently represent part or all of a musical work including melody and/or harmony. A large musical scale is a scale with bigger notes than normal. These can often be found at tutorial and in symposium.

Large scale model trains

Posted on by

Large scale model trains are those that run on #1 gauge (45 mm) track. The actual scale can vary from 1:13.5 for trains that represent 2′ gauge prototypes to 1:32 for those that represent standard gauge prototypes.

Very large scale trains run on larger track. Moving up the scale is the recently defunct LGB company. The engineers made model rolling stock in a wide variety of scales from 1:27 to 1:22.5. This scale is supported by museum-quality technology and rolling stock in both electric, silicon and live-steam.

An ever-growing following uses this scale to replicate the standard gauge, resulting in very large models indeed!
